Game Programmers come here, For the ultimate ride

I've recently been diagnosed of a serious ailment, boredom. So bored in fact, that I'm turning my new styled Mario enemies and tilesets into a game. Of course, I'm doing what everyone else is doing. Making a game that combines the best with all good Mario games while still bringing new elements and characters into the picture. Here's the catch: I'm actually going to do it right.

So, you want proof? Want a screenshot. Well, my old programmer cluelessly overbooked his game making schedule, which in turn gave no time for contributing to this one. Fortunantly, I do have something. A little screenshot to help show how the elements come together.

Big Thanks to Ninspriter who is taking the time to help with Mario and his Luigi.


Now, what I am wanting is a game programmer. I'm not picky on what software you use, but I am suggesting Game Maker, maybe version 7.0. Why? I want to make life simplier, so I will in time grow known to this program, and I've wanted to help with everything on the game. So, you won't be left in the dark. I could work with different software, but not too likely.

Now, I must warn you. If you decide to take this challenge, your skils will be pushed to the limit. I will be very percise and picky. I will maintain a vision for the game, and few things will change it. I will also be slightly naggy, and also clingy for new information/demos. I will most likely check in on you about every three days. Not only that, but I can have a bit of a temper.

Although these conditions are harsh, you will be a part of something very high above expectations (which right now, peiople alreafdy think this will end up down the drain).

Okay, so you need a story, and something to work with? Fine. No need to yell.
Not too much is different from your fangame carbon-copies. Mario & Luigi go through numerous worlds in hope to rescue Princess Peach from bowser and his son....plus his other seven children. Not only that, but a new powerup will be added.

In attempt to change Mario's willing to do good, Bowser has unleashed his limited addition collection of Ztars across the lands. They are similar to Stars, allowing invinsibility for a short amount of time. They do, however, transform Mario. He becomes the demon, twisted plumber. Also refered to as Maniac Mario. I'll end with that note.

So, you have the proposition, the sprites, the story. I say you're set. Oh yes, how to contact me. Well, before I start getting all IM messaging on you, just PM me saying why I should pick you. Be honest, which is what I have done, and be confident. If push comes to shove, I may recruit more than one.




Fine, here:

TLDR version for lazy people:

I am planning a game, but my old programmer dropped. I am willing to help some on programming, but I can be picky on what I want. Since you scrolled down here, you know what the sprites look like. The story is on the 6th and 7th paragraphs. PM me if you want to apply.

You stole the Ztars from MarioMario54321. PLAIGERISM IS BAD.

Ztars are real Mario objects. Not used anymore, but they are found in Mario Parties. You should really know your stuff before you accuse people of stealing.

...
Which one.

Look here

Mario Party 4. Just Google "Mario Ztar", and the first image is what it looks like. Now let's get back on the subject.

What thing you you need?

PD: That screenshot looks goodly

I'd be willing to do it, PM me if you're interested.
It seems like you have tiles and everything ready, so I could probably turn it into a game pretty easily in MechaSource.

Not only that, but an uncalled bump
